It's November and, although there are still three more races to go, the silly season has pretty much ended with only the two Manor seats up for grabs (hopefully they will manage to be on the grid next year). So I've decided to restart an old game. Back in the early 2000s, Makarias held a silly season trophy to predict drivers two years from now. With his blessing, I declare the 2017 Silly Season Trophy open!
Previous winners:
2003: Brian O Flaherty
2004: Flying Panda
2005: lukywill, Viceroy, Makarias
Participation:
To participate, post a reply in this topic with the drivers you think will be on the grid in the 2017 Australian Grand Prix. Be sure to follow the rules and please make sure there is no confusion as to which driver you mean.
Rules and pointscoring:
For the first run, the rules will stay pretty much the same as they were in previous editions. There might be some changes for the next edition.
- 2 drivers per team.
- 5 points for correctly guessing driver/team
- 2 points for correctly guessing driver (wrong team)
- 0 points if driver doesn't compete. An exception is if the driver was supposed to participate but did not due to an injury or temporary ban (e.g. in 2015 you would get 5 points for guessing either Button, Alonso or Magnussen in the McLaren)
- You get triple points if the driver you guessed was mentioned by nobody else.
- If you list less than 13 teams and there are less than 13 teams on the grid in 2017, you score points for the teams you left out (5 points per team).
- You can list an unknown driver (no given name) in a team. You will then score 5 points if a driver that was not mentioned by any other entry drives in the team you put him/her in. You will score no points if an unknown driver drives in a different team.
- In the event of a tie, the player putting the most drivers in the correct teams is given preference. If there is still a tie, the player who submitted his guess first is given preference.
